The Prologue
Our story begins, in feudal Japan, deep in the Warring States Era. In a kingdom called Musashi. It was unlike any kingdom in the land, and for good reason. It was ruled by the fierce Dog demon Inu-no-taisho, and his beloved human wife: Queen Izayoi; whom he loved dearly, and affectionately.
The land was a beautiful, prosperous land, full of lush greenery. Flowers, trees, lakes, rivers and acres of farmland, all scattered throughout the kingdom. Making it a highly sought after place to live.
The villagers that inhabited Musashi, were lively, and productive people. Always coming and going, selling their products, producing crops, taking care of their animals and feeding their families. This was the daily routine of the people of Musashi.
All who came to the kingdom, came to realize that Inu-no-taisho's compassion for all human beings, was indeed sincere, and genuine. The King and Queen were both well respected by their people. They showed them respect, kindness and swift justice to those who would oppose them. Many came to dwell in this peaceful and prosperous kingdom, as The King and Queen, were regarded as kindly rulers.
The King and Queen had two sons. The first and eldest son, was not born from Queen Izayoi. He was born from a beautiful but cold, Dog Demoness. By the name, Inukimi. However, Inukimi was not the motherly type. Figuratively speaking, she was a bitch. Inukimi urged her lover to take the child away indefinitely. This turned out well in the end, as the great dog demon Inu-no-taisho introduced his son, to his future wife Izayoi, years later.
The moment Izayoi met her step son Sesshoumaru, she fell in love. She went straight for his long fluffy tail, as she did with his father's ears. The future Queen, continued to love and care for him as if he was her own blood. After all, she clearly was a dog-person.
When Sesshoumaru neared the age of ten. Queen Izayoi became pregnant with the King's son. Sesshoumaru was appalled by the idea of having a sibling and cursed the day his half sibling was to be born. The royal pair however could not have been more thrilled and when the new born child was finally born, they named him Inuyasha.
Inuyasha, and his older half-brother Sesshoumaru, grew up as rivals. Always butting heads. As the boys grew older, the more apparent it was, of their differences.
Sesshoumaru was tall, lean, and strong. He was an academic genius, took everything seriously, yet, was arrogant, and rude. On the other hand, he had an air of elegance and beauty that was truly unmatched.
All women around him, swooned and fainted at the sight of him. He merely ignored their advances, as love and companionship was for the weak.
Despite being raised in a human-loving home. Sesshoumaru continued to despise human beings. He thought of humans, as both nuisances and as insects to step on. Especially, his younger brother Inuyasha who was half human. Sesshoumaru was outright appalled by him and prided himself for being a full, fledged demon and degraded Inuyasha for being a half breed.
Inuyasha was the youngest. He wasn't as tall or as bright. Yet, he was strong, muscular, and fast. Inuyasha excelled at physical activities and sports. He was more hot-tempered and brash, and easy to irritate. On the other hand, he was rather charismatic, and easy to get along with. However, unlike his older brother, Inuyasha was fond of, and cared for humans. For he was himself, half human. He had the best of both worlds.
This caused a long-time rift between the two siblings, and was the primary reason for the bitterness and tension between them. Only up until recently, had they began to come together, and communicate with each other.
Elsewhere in the kingdom, lived a family of three, who were well known for their kindness, friendly nature and work ethic.
They were the Higurashi's.
Mrs. Higurashi was a famous seamstress; who was adored by all who met her. She was a friend and personal seamstress of the King and Queen.
Mr. Higurashi was a popular and successful businessman. He too, helped run his wife's seamstress business, as well as others in the village. He was a happy go lucky kind of man, and was always joking around. He loved people and people loved him.
The Higurashi's had a child. A daughter, by the name Kagome. She was their first and only child. They loved and adored her. She had raven hair like her mother and her father's dazzling Hazel eyes, which was rare in that region.
Sadly, within the first eight years of her life, Kagome's father tragically died in a fire. The whole kingdom mourned his death. Everyone, including the King and Queen attended his funeral. It was said, it was a terrible accident. But yet, even though Kagome was only eight years old. The little girl had her suspicions and so did Mrs. Higurashi.
Unfortunately for Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi, there wasn't much Mr. Higurashi had left for his family. They lived in a beautiful home they worked hard for. This was the only thing of value they had left.
In a terrible twist of events, a few weeks later Mrs. Higurashi's seamstress shop slowly went out of business. It was a terrible set back.
Unfortunately, they had nothing left but the house.
If that wasn't enough, Mrs. Higurashi's health was slowly deteriorating. She knew she didn't have much time and she needed to act fast.
Mrs. Higurashi knew that she needed to marry again, to keep the home her husband left them. She needed to continue to support her little girl. Kagome needed a father figure, to be a family again. Even if she herself couldn't be a part of it for long.
And so it begins…
